Thank you for allowing retail investors the opportunity to weigh in on this proposed rule. As a real estate agent and a retail investor, and one of the fall outs of the construction trade crash from the 2008 recession, I find that this proposed rule would help stabilize markets so crucial to building this country. With little else to invest in that doesn't require massive sums of initial capital, the financial markets need to have greater oversight so that those of us with more to lose don't get sent back to square one. Again. Free markets require fairness. Holding risky players accountable for repeated actions that create instability is a must, and hard lessons must be learned. The average worker was allowed to fail over and over, and they have been leaned on in times of recession, depression, pandemic, and war. It is time to consider the majority of America to be too big to fail, and time for risky market makers to find their bootstraps. Jeffrey Edwin
